When he was just a stray pup, little did Carmelo know he would have been adopted by a Franciscan monastery in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and became its cutest member.
After being adopted by the monastery, Carmelo was given the perfect nickname ‘Friar Bigotón’ (Friar Mustache), thanks to his unmistakable furry muzzle, and even got a perfectly fitting tiny Franciscan habit.
Today friar Bigotón spends his days running and playing, and is by far the most beloved member of the monastery.
